When we think about celebrities and
cosmetic surgery the first thing that comes to mind is often women of
fame. While all celebrities are judged
on their appearance we tend to believe that women are the only ones who undergo
cosmetic procedures. For the most part
this is true. From breast augmentations
to lip implants, female celebrities tend to decide on elective procedures more
often than their male counterparts. But
this does not mean that male celebs are immune to the powerful persuasion of
cosmetic surgery. Here are a few
procedures that many male celebrities undergo.
NO
ONE CAN ESCAPE TIME
Female and male celebrities (check
out this list of all cosmetic procedures for men) alike want to slow the aging
process as long as possible. Fame is a young man’s game and those who play want
to stay as you as possible for as long as possible. This means face-lifts and liposuction around
the chin and neck to remove unwanted fat that accumulates over the years. Face-lifts can often leave the skin taught,
and the case of a few celebrities like Kris Jenner and Wayne Newton, too taut.
SLIMMING
DOWN
One of the biggest fears in
Hollywood is weight gain. Liposuction and other cosmetic procedures can often
remove unwanted fat and is as popular a procedure in the general population as
it is in the celebrity world. Radio
personality Howard Stern, actor/wrestle Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and Gene
Simmons have all admitted to going through cosmetic procedures to remove excess
and unwanted body fat. Though with
Dwayne Johnson the reasons were unique.
During his tenure as a wrestle he decided to have fat removed from his
chest after lifting enough weights that he believed his upper body was even too
large for the wrestling world.
A
NOSE KNOWS
By far the most popular plastic surgery for both men and women is rhinoplasty.
While some celebrities have told stories of deviated septum's and old
sports injuries, others have simply wanted a change in the way their nose
balanced with their face. The most
extreme examples of male actors undergoing nose jobs are Michael Jackson and
Bruce Jenner, both of whom went through multiple procedures.
In the cutthroat world of Hollywood,
where appearance is everything, even male celebrities understand the value of
plastic surgery. Much like with their
female counterparts, surgery can be seen as a success or, as in the case of
actors such as Mickey Rourke, a failure.
